IPv4/IPv6 sockets and Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) are supported. IPv4/IPv6 sockets can be used for communication over the network. UDS can only be used when the external application resides on the same machine as the server.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>IPv4 or IPV6 address:port or UDS://path</p> <h4>Example</h4><div class="ls-example">127.0.0.1:5434<br/> UDS://tmp/lshttpd/php.sock.</div><h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Security" class="ls-icon-security"></span> If the external application runs on the same machine, UDS is preferred. If you have to use an IPv4|IPV6 socket, set the IP address to <span class="val">localhost</span> or <span class="val">127.0.0.1</span>, so the external application is inaccessible from other machines.<br/> <span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Unix Domain Sockets generally provide higher performance than IPv4 sockets.</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="maxConns"><h3>Max Connections<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#maxConns"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>Specifies the maximum number of concurrent connections that can be established between the server and an external application. This setting controls how many requests can be processed concurrently by an external application, however, the real limit also depends on the external application itself. Setting this value higher will not help if the external application is not fast enough or cannot scale to a large number of concurrent requests.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> <h4>Tips</h4><p><span title="Performance" class="ls-icon-performance"></span> Setting a high value does not directly translate to higher performance.

It is required if <span class="tagl"><a href="#autoStart">Start By Server</a></span> is enabled. Most FastCGI/LSAPI applications can only process one request per process instance and for those types of applications, instances should be set to match the value of <span class="tagl"><a href="#maxConns">Max Connections</a></span>. Some FastCGI/LSAPI applications can spawn multiple child processes to handle multiple requests concurrently. For these types of applications, instances should be set to "1" and environment variables used to control how many child processes the application can spawn.</p> <h4>Syntax</h4><p>Integer number</p> </article> </div> <div class="helpitem"><article class="ls-helpitem"><div><header id="extUser"><h3>Run As User<span class="ls-permlink"><a href="#extUser"></a></span><span class="top"><a href="#top">⇑</a></span></h3></header></div><h4>Description</h4><p>The external application will run as this specified user name.

An external application process cannot have a higher priority than the web server.
